Barbados – Sugar Bay Resort

Barbados is a jewel in the crown of the Caribbean. A place where turquoise waters kiss fine sandy beaches and cricket is the national sport. This unique island has a dual heritage. Stone built Anglican churches and horse racing give testimony to a Colonial history. But it lives comfortably with the music and dancing that shares the heartbeat of Africa.

In Barbados, you will find a UNESCO World Heritage capital, sugar-cane fields, and rum! If you close your eyes and think of Barbados, you can feel the sun on your face and hear the surf along with the calypso rhythms. But the best feature of Barbados is the Bajan people with smiles as big as Sugar Bay.

Barbados holidays don’t come any better than a stay at the Sugar Bay Resort & Spa with an all-inclusive package.

Sugar Bay borders the warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Sugar Bay Barbados is a stunning beachfront resort that goes beyond all-inclusive luxury. With its traditional architecture surrounded by cool idyllic pools and lush tropical landscaping, Sugar Bay Resort is a relaxing oasis. Families can spend quality time here. And lovers can be alone in their own Paradise.

Families at Sugar Bay

Infants aged two and under are free, and your first child is free (aged three to sixteen). There are creches and a Kid Clubs and a Teens Clubhouse with plenty of activities. The family rooms include one or two-bedroom suites with oceanfront or pool or garden views.
